To allow for this characterization, the paper incorporates into the model of normalization. The arrangement obtained under the Reciprocity Treaty of might perhaps be appropriately described as a partial "free-trade area" rather than as a "customs union" since the United States and the British North American Provinces were not assumed to draw up a common tariff schedule for their imports from the outside countries.

Each participant maintains its own duties against other countries or even colonies. The Reciprocity Treaty permitted free access in the coastal fisheries to Americans and abolished duties on a wide range of natural products grain, flour, fish, livestock, coal, timber and other less important natural produce. At the same time, American vessels were admitted to the use of Canadian canals on the same terms as British and colonial vessels. Reciprocity was to apply to Canadian vessels going to United States.

In the late 's the B. Provinces were faced by that policy which the literature has called "Little Englandism". When Britain repealed the corn laws and gradually the preferential tariffs on timber the B.

Provinces were shocked to be left on their own. A new commercial system had to be developed: But, it could have been something else: The direction of the external trade changes with the Reciprocity Treaty. But a decade later, the United States was both Canada's major supplier and its best customer. Neither the Treaty nor the loss of preference in the British Market succeeded in destroying the Trade of B. Provinces with the United Kingdom. In fact, trade with Britain was greater in than in Later, in , Britain took back its leading position.

What we see is a diversion of trade from Britain to the United States and back to Britain where the basic commercial connections were well established. The Treaty was disappointing for the "dream" of using the St. Lawrence as the main route to capture the trade of the West did not materialize. The consequence of abrogation was less unfortunate than had in some quarters been anticipated. The Treaty came late after the abolition of the preferential tariffs, and it was disturbed by major events the crisis of ; the American Civil War.

After the treaty, recovery of the American currency reconstruction, proximity of the two countries, a new boom in foreign investment in Canada, etc.

The agreement lasted for twelve years and was finally overwhelmed by the rising tide of protectionism and commercial jealousies and political hostilities of the time. Reciprocity, Confederation, the Nation Policy, the St. It is argued in this paper that both normative and objective considerations must be taken into consideration in the formulation of tariff policy.

Moreover, it is shown that static and partial equilibrium analyses can be disastrously misleading in guiding the framing of tariff policy. Regarding the regional impact of tariffs, it is shown that within a monetary union, interregional trade flows reflect absolute production and transport cost advantages and that the non-realization of perfect domestic mobility of factors of production entails social and private adjustment costs that must be reckoned with in the cost-benefit analysis of any shift in trade policy.

From the standpoint of Quebec, a French-speaking political entity, the Canadian trade area is far from being optimal. The tendency for Canadian market-oriented economic activity to polarize in Ontario behind tariff walls, accompanied by a large movement of foreign enterprises, pushes the Quebec economy towards the least attractive and the most vulnerable industries among those oriented towards the Canadian common market.

A rationalization of these laggard Quebec industries and an up-grading of resources-oriented economic activity would then benefit from the removal of both Canadian and American tariffs.

Among Canadian trade options, therefore, Quebec would potentially benefit most from a gradual move toward a North-American free trade area, with ad hoc measures for certain industries, but should reject the world-wide free trade and unilateral free trade options because of the serious industrial dislocations and factors of production outflows they would create.

The Wonnacott study concludes that the most realistic and beneficial commercial policy Canada is likely to be able to pursue at the moment would be to negotiate a Canada-U. This paper consist primarily of assigning different weights to a variety of the considerations Wonnacott raises and analyzing the effects of these different weights on his conclusions regarding the appropriate free trade strategy for Canada.

A number of issues are also raised which do not appear to have been examined in Wonnacott's analysis. They then continue at HEC Montréal, learning about project management, arts branding, marketing for cultural industries and other aspects of the arts business. Finally, they study strategy for the arts business and complete a masters thesis at SDA Bocconi.

The program lasts one year. The school also offers specialized, one-year graduate diplomas called D. S diplômes d'études supérieures spécialisées in French, for people who already hold a bachelor's degree and a small amount of work experience.

Compared to the Master of Science degrees, the D. S tend to be more applied and focused on professional skills, whereas the MSc combines these with an extensive study of theory. In , the degree was also offered in Brazzaville Congo with support from the Congolese government. Students can take additional credits after finishing the D.

The HEC Montréal Short Graduate Programs in French only answer the needs of the business community by focusing on practical training and developing skills specific to a profession or field. These programs consist of 15 credits and are recognized with an attestation of studies.

It is a graduate-level university course lasting 16 to 24 months, and equips students to write the Common Final Examination to become CPAs.

They can study part-time while continuing to work. The School PhD program offers 10 specializations: EDU lib is an online platform of free courses available to everyone around the world. Polytechnique Montréal and Université de Montréal are teaming up with HEC Montréal to produce and distribute open courses on health, educational studies, sciences, engineering, management and other subject matters.

The students sometimes use the expression "Bunker" to refer to it. Indeed, its form, the some say excessive use of concrete for the exterior facade, and the absence of windows, quickly imposed this expression in the vocabulary of the students. The MSc program was created the same year. This was perceived as a major evolution for the students and professors of HEC Montreal.

The 7th floor of the Decelles building was inaugurated on this occasion. HEC Montréal's main building was constructed in and has since won an award for "institutional architecture.
